PT>My XP and Windows Server 2003 Release 2 have 512 megabyte of memory

PT>ISome of the message bases only have 300 to 2,000 messages and I

PT>So I am trying to figure out what is different with the system

Are you running your tossing jobs as a command file or a batch file ?  I 
run mine as a Windows command file called fidonet.cmd .  I am running 
Tame version 3.31 .    Other than that I do nothing special.  I am 
running Windows 2000 SP4.
